The Community

One large reason for Hattrick's growth is the amazing community, which helps us translate the game into more than 50 languages. Our forums become one of the most active on the Web, where users obsess about their Hattrick national teams, training strategies or just the state of the world in general.

Going mobile

While always true to our web origins, more and more users start living through their smartphones. We release our first iPhone app in early 2012, and fully reworked ones for iOS and Android in 2014.
